Dolores Catania and her ex-husband Frank Catania are divorced, but they still work well together. The former Real Housewives of New Jersey spouses buy and sell homes for each other, and they gave an update on their business on the April 14 episode.
“Frank and I are still in the house flipping business,” Dolores said in an interview during the show. “We're fortunate that COVID hasn't affected us because people are fleeing the city and buying homes.”
Business seems to be going well for the Catanias. In fact, maybe even a little too well. When Dolores and Frank are having an informal business meeting in her kitchen, she complains that Frank doesn't have time to complete a project that's literally closer to home: renovating her own house.

When Frank shared the news that they were selling three houses next month, Dolores responded, “We've got to get rid of all those houses, and then the shoemaker's wife's shoes will have holes in them again. That's what I mean by holes. So let's start renovating.”
Luckily, Frank seems to have some pretty solid plans for Dolores' house. “There's going to be a new kitchen and new bathrooms. We're going to make it happen,” he explained. “I'm going to take care of everything. Please don't complain to me. I'm going to get it done.”
Frank certainly has an impressive track record: The Garden State home flipper built an amazing home for Dolores' boyfriend, David, and if you're looking for proof, just watch the March 24 episode of RHONJ (clip above), where Dolores gave the ladies a tour of David's house from top to bottom.
